PARIS STYLE.
Al O'Clock teas, which are at present
quite the thing IN Paris, ladies wear short
skirts and very small nantes or jackets.
Toilets for these entertainments are of
wooden fabrics, which are costlier than
velvet or plush. As they have the addi
ton of rich passementerie and embroid-
cry, this apparently simple style of dress
is not worn for motives of economy.
NOTES.
Dotted wells in all colors are the styles.
White kid gloves are being revived in
French ball rooms Just now
A new bright blue is known as Jubilee
blue, in honor of Queen Victoria's Jubilee.
The old becoming strap shoes are reap
pearing, and are even made in natural
colored leather.
Bretelles, real or simulated, are girlish
looking and often becoming trimming to
half cress gown.
LaceS Will be very prominent the com
ing season, and will be seen wherever
their wear is appropriate.
Large paids are brought ouS for the
skirts of gingham dresses, plain girgham
forming the bodice, sleeves and scarf
draperies.
Round waists, With heavy satin ribbons
tied in handsome stylish loops at the left
side, are still conspicuous among French
toilets for demi-dreSs wear
Wear your bracelet Gu your upper arm
above your gloves. Ii you have not a
PRETTY turned wrist and forearm pre-
tend you have, and wear your gloves
drawn smooth and unadOmed.
Baby pOmpOns are not only
used for trimming all sorts Of bats and
bCnDets, but also for head-dr1sses, in
which case they are i-termixed with tllle
puts or fancy butterflies.
Very becoming dresses for stout pee
ple are made Of the new iuch-Iids striped
fabrics, with plated skirts Of plain goods,
with the stripee used as border around
tie long GreCian draperies.
This is the news from Paris: "Under-
clothing el2borately trimmed with lace is
going out Of fashion. E!eeaHtCs leave
them TO the women Of the demi-monde
and are adopting themselves models If =
pure and lady-like simplicity"
The latest wrinkle fer the 'high tes"
uniform is to wear the gay apron en-
broidered in Roman colors sleeveless
zouaye jacket OF white canvas Cloth,
reaching just to the waist behind and cut
away without mercy TO show the house
gown in front.
Fancy wooden dresses for spring wear
will be made up with Killed and paneled
skirts with tuniCs above, which viii, be
made either lorg or short, 10 suit the
slender or the stout wearer. Graceful
draperies are upon the back of the skirts
and the podices are elaborately orna-
mented.
Pretty baSques for home wear are made
of pale ecru tricot CLOTH the lower edge
cut in vandykes and trimmed around
with rows of very narrow golden brown
velvet ribbon. The vest is strapped
across with the same, between the wide
velvet reyers, which begin on the Shout
derseam and terminate in 3 point at the
waist.
Old ladies who have not too many
prejudices egainst charge, arc wearing
their hair more as young ladies do than
ever before. They are more [, it is.

Regular caps, too, they have learned to

Sbirts OF fawn-c olored lEHsfre are worn
in the house, with wiaes Sashes OF dark
laurel-green MORE end Z9uave jacket Of
laurel green vewst, edged With fawn-
colored rosary besds. Very wide scarfs
of pIainsor striped surah are fastened on
De kiiGed shirt back Of the hips, brought
oveFto the right side, and kuotted, giving
the effect OF short tuDic. The long
ends are gathered to point and tipped
with beaded ornaments or silk tassels.
Cuff, lGundried at home fail to please
because they are ironed cut fat, and
when the buttons are put in they blister
and wrinkle. This can be avoided If the
laundress only knows how to iron the
cuffs until they arc perfectly dry, and
then takes the broad end of the fat-iron
and, pressing very hard on the edge,
places 1t at one end of the cuff and slowly
goes over the length Of the cuff. The cuff
will roll as the iron leaves it. This is so
simple an operation that one is likely TO
succeed The first time she tries to do it.
